    Technical Details & Test Data

    Notes

    Properties reported here are average of a typical batch. The 3D printed test specimens were printed in the XY plane, using the normal quality profile in Ultimaker Cura 2.1, an Ultimaker 2+, a 0.4 mm nozzle, 90% infill, 250 °C nozzle temperature, and 70 °C. The values are the average of five white and five black specimens for the tensile, flexural, and impact tests. The Shore hardness D was measured in a 7-mm-thick square printed using the normal quality profile in Utlimaker Cura 2.5, an Ultimaker 3, a 0.4 mm print core, and 100% infill. The electrical properties were measured on a 54-mm-diameter disk with 3 mm thickness printed in the XY plane, using the fine quality profile (0.1 mm layer height) in Ultimaker Cura 3.2.1, an Ultimaker 3, a 0.4 mm print core, and 100% infill.
